Btu Cooling Needs?

[Moses249]

I am advising a friend while he sets up a new grow facility. His flower room is going to be 24 1000 watt gavitas. I guess they actually run 1150 watts per? Anyways he and I were wondering what size AC or AC'S he is going to need to cool the room year round even on 100 degree days to 75-78 degrees? I was telling him that he should estimate each gavita to need 5000 btu of cooling to keep in check. So for the 24k room i was recommending 120,000 btus of cooling. He seems to think that is way overkill... thoughts? thank you

I run two 24k splits in an eight light gavita room with a quest 205 and co2 generator and it is plenty of cooling

I think 6k btus for each 1k is what @CannabisJohn suggests and that will cover anything.Ask your AC questions here,
